I didn't intend to scare you of course.

I only have one coffee (from ground beans) a day and that gets my brain waking up first thing in the morning. If I have coffee later in the day I can't sleep. I'm very sensitive to caffeine.

A lot of my sleep issues are related to overthinking and overwhelm so if I wake up a couple of hours after I go to sleep then it can be difficult to go back to sleep.

If I turn a light on or switch the computer on then I'm done for the night. I often wake at around 3 or 4 and that's tricky because I think to myself what's the use of trying to go back to sleep. Sometimes I can and sometimes I can't.

I understand that if you're wide awake in the middle of the night it sometimes seems a good idea to get up and do something but if you're up for a couple of hours, maybe get a decaf rather than the regular.

I'm glad you were able to get at least a couple more hours in last night.
